Oh I agree Aramike. The "perception" of terrorism is that the person must have some Islamic ties, or must be Arabic or have a anti-Israeli/anti-Western political motivation. At the least, one or more of these is usually associated with the term. However, we have "eco-terrorists" that the government recognizes due to the reasons listed above - their acts of violence intended to motivate or intimidate people into standing against the government.

Now I am no tree hugger, but if the government can call the destruction of a in construction subdivision eco- "terrorism" - its pretty bad it can't call a wacko flying his plane into a government building "terrorism" when the INTENT is the same.

As OTH points out, though sarcastically, is that there is a definite double standard in how this matter is being dealt with. All because the current Administration doesn't want to have to admit there was a "terrorist act" on home soil during their watch.
